OP, I don't find Connected to be that helpful myself. Last mile navigation might come in handy depending on where you are, and Web radio I'm told is nice. However, I do enjoy BMW Apps for the Pandora control -- although I find myself just using BT audio streaming on shorter trips in the car out of laziness. Doesn't allow you to navigate your library (only next/previous song, also due to a feature that iDrive supports but Apple doesn't), but it works well enough.

From what I've read, Blackberry has some exclusive contract with BMW over the email. Don't now when it expires.
I just wish they made an app for Spotify. They have MOG already, which is pretty similar, but Spotify seem to have a larger library.
